What is the Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)? Designed for professionals who are new to this nuanced national security sector or seeking a refresher, this introductory session will discuss the basic regulatory standard necessary for a CFIUS filing. Delegates will gain an understanding of the national security reasons for CFIUS filings, the scrutiny given to filings, as well as the timelines for processing a filing. Topics will include:
- Under what circumstances does FIRRMA give CFIUS authority to:
- Impose an interim mitigation agreement?
- Require plans for monitoring compliance with mitigation agreements?
- Determine that a current or older mitigation agreement is no longer warranted?
- Allow for the use of third-party, independent parties to monitor agreements?
- Calculating timelines for submitting a mandatory declaration or notice
- Analyzing what can cause delays and how to avoid them
- Examining basic enforcement action for non-filing and penalties
